"Rings of Power" Season 2 finale that just dropped on the TV schedule. So, if you aren’t caught up, I recommend watching the show with an Amazon Prime subscription before scrolling any further.

In Season 1 of "Rings of Power," questions and theories about Sauron's identity were flying around like mad. Then, in the show's first finale, it was revealed that Charlie Vickers’ Halbrand was in fact the infamous "Lord of the Rings" villain in disguise. However, there was another mystery floating around those first episodes regarding the name of The Stranger, and it persisted into Season 2. Well, now we know the name of Daniel Weyman’s mysterious wizard, and Vickers, who is also familiar with keeping his character’s name hidden, opened up about that big reveal and how hard it is to those kinds of secrets.

00:00And I also wanted to ask you about the big identity reveal of The Stranger in episode eight, because you
00:05got the big identity reveal last season.
00:07Did you know what Daniel's character was going to be?
00:10And also, did you guys talk about what it was like having to keep those massive secrets for a very
00:15long time?
00:16He was much better than me at the keeping secrets.
00:20I don't think I ever asked him any time it ever came up in conversation between him and I, he
00:24would divert me.
00:25He never opened up to me about like, oh, man, I've got this secret.
00:29I can't believe you did it.
00:30He has been much more like honorable in his secret keeping than me.
00:37I've been telling everyone how hard it was, whereas he is just like very noble.
00:41And I think it's different because The Stranger didn't know who he was.
00:44So maybe he didn't have wasn't as prevalent in his mind.
00:49But then like I saw it for the first time last night and I'd forgotten how he finds out.
00:53So I was like I was watching it for the first time because I hadn't read that script in so
00:58long.
00:59So it was really cool.
01:00Really cool.
